The persistence of envy and ignorance did not diminish, as they are intrinsic to human nature. No governmental structure can induce an evolutionary shift in human nature. Such changes must occur gradually over time.

It pertains to how individuals utilized envy and ignorance, which are human vices. Considering the limited education during Voltaire's era, it is evident that a substantial portion of the population existed in total ignorance and even those educated lacked instilled values such as justice, preventing them from prioritizing others over succumbing to envy. This reflects that ignorance gives rise to envy, leading to social unfairness.

According to Marxist theory, in what order would societies evolve?
BigorU [1667]
Marxist theory outlines a series of stages through which societies progress:

Initially, capitalism leads to a distribution of income and wealth that is not equal. This disparity prompts the working class to rise against the ruling class. The uprising gives birth to socialism as a socioeconomic system, which ultimately transitions into communism characterized by shared ownership. Consequently, this cooperation fosters a classless society, and eventually, all factories and property come under government control.
